Just for fun, we started digging through the accounts followed by 60 popular verified #MAGA accounts to see what there is to see. We found one weird thing that stuck out like a sore thumb (and will add more if/when we find more). . .

Meet @ScottIngwers. This account has never tweeted, never liked any tweets, has no bio, and uses a default profile pic. Despite this, its 342 followers include @DonaldJTrumpJr, @IvankaTrump, and @EricTrump.

Since the account has no content, there's not really much about @ScottIngwers to analyze, but we did notice that despite the account being totally empty, it's picked up followers in a variety of languages.
(also possibly interesting, one of @ScottIngwers protected followers, @wn_defenders, has the "1488" white supremacist dog whistle in its profile)
(possible partial explanation - as several folks have pointed out, there is a Trump Hotels executive with the same name as the empty account)
Moving on, four of the verified #MAGA accounts follow members of the Mad World News botnet:

Four of the large blue-check #MAGA accounts ( @DineshDSouza, @ChanelRion, @ScottBaio, and @gatewaypundit) follow conspiracy theory dispenser @GregRubini, an account that repeatedly claims without evidence to have "sources" in Trump's inner circle. https://twitter.com/conspirator0/status/1227062755687092224
